A roundup of things newsworthy
and noteworthy in your neck of the woods
October 8, 2010
Illinois – Round and round
This past spring, a group of bicyclists jumped on an idea that seemingly "rose from their toes." Ten friends who donned the name GYMRAT (Get Your Mind Right America Traverse) decided to expand their well-treaded paths to cross the nation. The group took 52 days to bicycle from Jacksonville, Fla. to San Diego, Calif. Throughout the trip, friends and family supported them online through Facebook® and blogs. They all returned safely home on May 6.
Indiana – River remake
The Grand Calumet River that flows into Lake Michigan is getting a makeover. For decades the river has been a dumping ground for pollutants, sitting at the top of the Great Lakes Areas of Concern. The good news is that the EPA has begun to restore areas of high biodiversity along the river. For more information on this clean-up and others, visit epa.gov/greatlakes/aoc.
Maryland – Glory be!
Once voted the best fall festival by MSN, the 43rd Annual Autumn Glory Festival took place Oct. 6-10, 2010. It mixed mountainous, folksy fun with contemporary charm and was home to the Maryland State Fiddle and Mandolin Championships, as well as an Oktoberfest celebration, parades and antiquing, buggy rides and art exhibits. It just may have gotten its number one status from the annual No Hands Ice Cream Eating contest.
New York – Art with athletes
The annual Musselman triathlon that happens in Geneva, N.Y., every July came with an extra lap this year, over to a wall in the Seneca Street parking lot where athletes were given a paintbrush and paint. Their last task, if they so chose, was to fill in the section of a mural labeled with the last digit of their bib number. The mural pictured is a triathlete cartoon character named Frazz, designed by artist Jef Mallet. The activity was coordinated with other theatrical and artistic activities that took place on the same day.
North Carolina – Mountain music
Toe River campground was home to the 25th annual Music in the Mountains folk festival on Oct. 2. Folks that remember the good old days joined in at the Burnsville, N.C., campsite to revel in the authenticity of down-home tunes. The festival prides itself on its authentic roots and the respect for the old ways that is far from rusted out. It was a classic celebration of the preserved mountain music culture, complete with story-telling and sing-alongs.
Ohio – Artful cure for community
The Short North neighborhood in Columbus is really shaping up. What was once considered a ghost neighborhood is now a thriving art community, with the help of one colorful tradition: a "Gallery Hop" that takes place on the first Saturday of every month. Art galleries stay open later to welcome "hoppers," while street performers and musicians entertain outside. To learn more about this eclectic custom, visit shortnorth.org.
Pennsylvania – Presidential place
This fall, Philadelphia will unveil the President's House Commemorative Site, where George Washington and John Adams resided before our nation's capital moved to D.C. On Independence Mall, in front of the Liberty Bell's new home, remains of the original Executive Mansion have been excavated and will be displayed for the public to see. Panels and video will tell the stories of the first two Presidents, and include detailed biographies of the nine enslaved people who served in Washington's household. To learn more, go to ushistory.org/presidentshouse.
Tennessee – Transport tune-up
The National Governor's Association (NGA) has selected Tennessee to partake in its Policy Academy for Shaping a New Approach to Transportation and Land Use Planning. For 10 months, the NGA will consult the state on ways to develop and implement a plan to improve its transportation system. The academy will help create a new planning framework that addresses the state's unique needs and concerns for mobility, accessibility, emissions, financial stability, demographics, climate and topography.
Virginia – Celebrating a century
Almost 40,000 Boy Scouts from across the nation gathered this summer at Fort A.P. Hill to celebrate the Boy Scouts of America's first 100 years at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree. For 10 days, Scouts discovered high-adventure activities, worked on more than 100 merit badge subjects, and met real-life heroes. The celebration continues at scouting.org.
Washington, D.C. – Scene for science buffs
The USA Science and Engineering Festival will hold its inaugural celebration in the most appropriate place — the National Mall. The fest, from Oct. 10 to 24, will host more than 500 of the nation's leading organizations of the trade. The best part will be a two-day expo that is free of charge and fun for the whole family. From Oct. 23 to 24, science lovers can build an underwater robot, find out the magic behind Hogwart's Academy or pick the brain of a Nobel Prize winner.
West Virginia – A wonder under
A National Natural Landmark and treasure that holds a world record lies in Lewisburg. Old tales have drifted out of the Lost World Caverns of prehistoric bears and Bat Boys for decades. Over a mile of passages wind through the caverns, reaching 235 feet below surface. The cavern holds its place in the Guinness Book of World Records since 1971, when Parkersburg man Bob Addis sat atop the 28 foot tall "War Club" stalagmite for nearly 16 days.
Wisconsin – Going green
More than 250 businesses have become certified in the Travel Green Wisconsin Project, which launched in 2004. The "ecopreneurial" initiative is for the tourism industry to promote sustainable business practices. Qualifying for the Travel Green certification involves an eco-friendly list that businesses choose from to best fit their operation. A few focal points are energy efficiency and conservation, air quality, purchasing and wildlife and water conservation. For more information, visit travelgreenwisconsin.com.

Photography plays a key role in capturing the memories your attendees will have of all the fun and fellowship at your event. It also keeps the event alive well after the decorations come down and the choir goes home.
By keeping these tips in mind when planning photography for your event, you can help your photographer make the most of each picture - and ensure that every attendee walks away with a memory that leaves them looking forward to your organization's next event.
- Determine the purpose for the pictures. Is this a service you want to provide for your attendees, to give them a keepsake to bring home and serve as a remembrance of the meeting, or do you simply want a record or archive of the event? The types of photos you need will depend on the answer to this question.
- Discuss your photography plans with the photographer before you get to the event. Candid close-up shots are usually the most popular for most events, but many attendees also enjoy posed, full-length pictures taken in front of a background. Ideally, your photographer should be able to provide both services, but the costs will vary.
- Position the photography station carefully. If you include posed shots, position the photographer in a highly traveled area. You'll get good visibility near the meeting's main entrance or even in the lobby, where the photographer can catch people while they still look their best and before they start mingling.
- Emphasize the background. Is there an area or backdrop that reflects the event's theme? Maybe there's a natural background you can use. If your venue has a spectacular spot with a unique view, capture it in your attendees' photographs.
- Use a prop to create depth. Plants and flowers are common props. Maybe your event lends itself to something more creative - like an Oscars-themed reception, where you have a similar kind of statue on display and pose guests in front of it, to make it look as if each guest is receiving an award.
- Help your photographer maximize candid shots. The best time to take candids are as people are arriving, mingling during a reception, and waiting in line for seating or a buffet. The worst times are while they are seated during a dinner or watching a presentation.
- Keep the flow fast for posed photographs. Make sure you've positioned the photographer in a place that allows people to get in and out quickly. This way, attendees can avoid waiting in line.
- The best candids are not really candids at all. Make sure that your photographer takes the time to pose the couple or group so that everyone's smile shines. Catching guests with a mouthful of food is a sure way to get a bad picture.
- Make it easy and convenient for attendees to see the pictures after the event is over. Ask if your photographer offers online proof sheets. These sheets usually are available 24 to 48 hours after the event, and are accessible from any computer. This is an easy and economical way for your guests to see and order the photos. The traditional way of ordering can be cumbersome and less convenient for the event planner.

Post subject: Thanks from Exploration Place for SW:WSMI Exhibit!
This is a letter received from the 70th CO and passed along to share with everyone who helped out last weekend with the events in Wichita, KS.
I would also like to thank everyone who made it out to help out Dantooine Base to do these troops. It was a pleasure to meet all of you who came out to help out and look forward to trooping with you again in the future!
Having the 501st and Rebel Legions serve as the Riverfest parade entry for Exploration Place to promote the Star Wars:® Where Science meets Imagination exhibit was TREMENDOUS! We were delighted to have more than 30 members troop the parade last Friday evening. The crowds response was great and the promotion you all gave the Star Wars exhibit was priceless. Thank you!
Several of the 501st and Rebel Legion members were able to troop at Exploration Place and the Star Wars exhibit on Friday and Saturday. A few others came the weekend of the exhibit opening. We just LOVE having you here and so do the visitors. Watching their faces light up when they see a Star Wars character is so gratifying. They cant find their cameras fast enough to catch the moment. The presence of the 501st and Rebel Legion adds an extra dimension to the exhibit which we cant replicate. While the exhibit has been open only a few weeks, we find the visitors are always looking for the Star Wars characters.
As you know the Star Wars exhibit continues through September 3. I, along with all the staff, am looking forward to many more appearances by the 501st and Rebel Legion throughout the summer. We realize several of the members are traveling significant distances and we especially appreciate their effort to be here as part of the exhibit.
Thank you, and we are so looking forward to working with the 501st and Rebel Legion throughout the summer making this blockbuster exhibit even more spectacular with your help and generosity.

Ted Spoon is an excellent historian/writer for Boxing Scene. He is also a member of the CBZ board & I'm quite pleased that both he & another terrific boxing historian/writer for Boxing Scene, Mike Casey, are active members of our little lash-up in cyber space ...
There's No Smoke Without Frazier, Part 2
By Ted Spoon from Boxing Scene
Dubbed "The Fight of the Century", this was actually the third time such a title had been attached to a major boxing event, but this one promised to be everything the Johnson/Jeffries and Dempsey/Carpentier mismatches were not. Being televised to millions around the world at home or in the local cinema -- the pre fight scuffle adding to the overall hype set the stage for the richest fight in boxing's history.
The stage was set for March 8th, 1971, Madison Square Garden, New York. The guaranteed $2.5 Million for each fighter finally topped Jack Dempsey's rematch vs. Gene Tunney, some 44 years later. Frazier was 27 to Ali's 29, but while he held the card on youth he was significantly shorter and outreached.
Psyching himself up in the dressing room, Frazier shadow boxed sporting that snappy green robe as ex-boxer Archie Moore stood by to try and echo those bottled up feelings to the intrigued crowd. When the champ was ready, on his own terms he allowed Archie to speak: "Joe, I know you don't like to talk at a moment like this, but you're getting two and a half million dollars, will that make any difference in the way you're going to fight".
To which he replied: "Well, it gives me the inspiration to do little more, and go farther a little more, y'know? And I feel good about it".
Ali, the undefeated challenger and supposed 'peoples champion' was out first having predicted an ambitious 6th round victory and bellowed out in that confident tone of his: "The hour of truth has arrived!". Upon entering the ring he was given a very warm reception.
Frazier's entrance caused a mixed reaction to reverberate around the arena -- a sure sign of uncertainty at his position as champion. There was clearly allot of observers who believed Ali was going to take back what he never lost in the ring.
At a fabulously conditioned 205lbs, Frazier, hopping up n' down had never looked so ready. Ali on the other hand, with tassels on his boots calmly skipping, smiling and acknowledging the famous faces near ringside hadn't the fuzziest what was around the corner.
Shooting out of their corners, they met in centre ring. Ali landed big early with left hooks and right cross'. Frazier characteristically banged those gloves together while doing his best to swipe away Ali's flickering punches, making sure to cross over his right parry hand to protect that left eye as he trudged forward.
Ali swept up the first two rounds, finding Frazier's bobbing head with sharp punches but Joe's advancements did not once fumble despite getting really tattooed in the 2nd; he gave the impression he was willing to walk through walls as he continued briskly advancing. The third and fourth rounds were much more evenly contested; Joe landed powerful hooks to the head n' body and began suffocating Ali's boxing. Planting his feet, Ali wanted to punch Joe dead in his tracks so he could box, but the hunched over swarmer did not stop ploughing forward, breaching the bigger man's defences and opening up with scintillating swings that caused the whole crowd to aghast as they crashed on target -- Frazier played his part of the 'irresistible force' to its fullest.
The 5th round was a better one for the former champ, but Joe gave him a taste of his own medicine when he stood static, hands his sides and made Ali miss -- that familiar seedy smile split across Frazier's face as he looked far the fresher of the two. Onto round 6 and Ali's predicted victory was thrown back in his face when Frazier pinned him to the ropes, working his body over. Ali could no longer punch with Joe who was sustaining that 5th gear. Like Buster Mathis had, Ali now looked to smother and use Frazier's strength against him, but he was heavily punished for these tactics -- even with an increasingly swelling face the champ was not hitting any speed bumps.
During the 8th round of what was turning out be a very taxing battle for each fighter, Ali was pulled off the ropes by Joe after being booed and Frazier bagged another one with his booming punches. It seemed that Frazier's offence was unavoidable in its persistence, but Round 9 was scored for Ali by each judge and the referee. Getting his second wind he opened up with blistering cameo's of stinging punches which further distorted Frazier's battle worn mask of a face.
However, for all of Ali's efforts to this point, which had been considerable, Frazier just turned the heat on again in the tenth, looking to iron out every ounce of adversity that remained in his enemy's failing body. The 11th round was crisis time for Ali; after more gruelling exchanges in the corner Referee Mercante separated the two, but Ali stayed put and goaded Frazier to go to him. Then in a miscalculated manoeuvre, Ali's flurry was ducked under and Frazier came out of his crouch with a demolition ball of a left hook. Ali's body went limp and if not for the ropes he would he been felled when another short left hook landed square on his chin. A heart of pure gold is all that saved him as Frazier force fed him a few more big ones before the round ended. When it did, corner man an motivator Budini Brown began throwing water over a his man's face who now had a dejected looking demeanour about him.
Frazier was all over Ali at the start of the 12th, and was unrelenting with a dynamic attack in a highly entertaining 13th. Fatigue had gotten the better of both gladiators at this stage having expanded enormous amounts of energy, which saw Ali manage to keep Frazier honest in the 14th.
A close fight by any standards, the 15th round was the deal sealer, the last proverbial nail in the coffin for Muhammad. After an urgent start by Frazier he positioned Ali near the ropes and whipped in another left hook at his exposed n' grossly swollen jaw -- later in life Ali explained he saw the punch coming but did not have the strength of arm to protect against it -- landing perfectly it spawned a slow-mo replay of epic proportions. The image of Frazier's honey punch felling the undefeated 'Louisville lip' climaxed the fight to decide who was the best in the world. Ali was up quickly come the count of 3, which Frazier would go onto describe as an 'act of god', and he somehow survived Frazier's blunted, but still deadly efforts before the final bell sounded.
All three judges had Frazier the rightful victor by Unanimous Decision.
With Ali defeated there was little reason for Joe to continue, and in his critically battered state it was wise that he didn't. With the press hounding a frequently hospitalised fighter he simply announced that he would not be in action again until sometime next year.
At the turn of 1972, Frazier resumed his unfocused career for easy purses vs. two journeyman, Terry Daniels and Ron Stander. First entering the ring vs. Daniels, Frazier's physique had degenerated from being finely cut to blatantly flabby. Weighing in at over 10 pounds more than when he fought Ali, Joe looked like an unmotivated, faded fighter as he slowly dispatched of Terry in the 4th. He weighed even more for his battle with Stander and appeared vulnerable when hit at times before sloppily wrapping matters up in the 5th.
This suffering work ethic culminated into his embarrassing loss vs. the undefeated contender, George Foreman. When they fought, Frazier had been out of the ring for an unhealthy 8 months and he was again in poor condition. Coming up to the fight he had been putting in just as many rounds with his band, 'The Knockouts' as he had been sparring.
Foreman was very nervous having failed a previous attempt to stare the champ out when he entered the arena, but he was fuelled on fearful adrenaline, his condition was perfect and all the desire was there having been given a few tips off former great Joe Louis, a personal hero of his. As they squared off before Arthur Mercante's instructions Foreman, teary eyed, hoped that Frazier would not look down and see his shaky legs, but when the bell sounded he turned the scenario on its head.
As they came to one another the 6'3, 217lbs Foreman dwarfed Frazier who was only 3lbs lighter with that spare tire around his waist. Although crude, Foreman used those muscular and long arms to push Frazier away before he was close enough to land his short hooks. When one did land, Foreman did not take any notice as if a little girl has slapped him. Joe, who rarely won the first round, was put down from a glancing uppercut. He got up, but was shoved into his own corner and fell to one knee from another uppercut that landed with ugly results. Up again and down he went just before the bell sounded.
After his team worked desperately to revive him some, Frazier was out of his corner an back into the hurricane Foreman was creating. George's powerful uppercuts could not miss Frazier's predictable ducks he was performing in his dazed state. Every time he looked for cover close up a firm push on each shoulder by Foreman got him back in the firing range, there was no escape. Foreman was warned for his pushing to which his ecstatic corner naturally objected to, but it didn't matter. Down another two times, Frazier was punched off balance to a knee after a hybrid right hook/uppercut.
All the heart in the world was not going to save the champion as he stumbled to the opposite corner at which time Mercante waved the bout off.
Ali had been very active on his comeback trail, but picked up another loss vs. Ken Norton, a regular sparring partner for Frazier. With both fighters looking to redeem themselves a non title match was arranged for the beginning of 1974. Before that, Frazier saw off a game effort by British fighter, Joe Bugner over 15.
The 'super fight' rematch did not warrant nor garner the interest of the first and justifiably so for the fight itself was placid in contrast to their previous fight. Frazier possessed none of the intensity he showed 3 years before hand as Ali clinched and pot-shotted his way to a comfortable decision over 12 moderate rounds.
Joe carried on with his career to see how things would unfold. Jerry Quarry was given a rematch for June at the Garden. In the presence of an all star boxing class, featuring the likes of Gene Tunney, Willie Pep, and Joe Louis as the referee, Frazier pummelled Quarry to defeat in 5 rounds. In the fourth he zipped in a brutal left hook off the jab that caused Jerry to momentarily freeze as the effects shuddered across his nervous system. Making good use of his right hand he worked the body, dropping him with a short left. Louis stopped the fight in the next round as Quarry was in a bad way.
Following Ali's upset victory over Foreman he had three men lined up for title defences, one of them was Frazier, which gave him a last chance to go for broke in his tainted career against the man who continued to taunt an belittle his position.
For another healthy pay check and 'filler' fight before Ali, Joe fought Jimmy Ellis again who was now 35, and like Frazier, a man of several tough contests. Under the Australian sun a former victim of Frazier, Bob Foster refereed the two men. Enjoying himself, Frazier let the fight see a good number of rounds before turning on the heat. Jimmy was cut in the 7th and was pulled out early in the ninth by his corner as he had nothing left.
'Super fight' III was, at least in Ali's mind, going to be a walk in the park. He had seen Frazier in his last few bouts and concluded he would not put up much resistance. Labelling Frazier a Gorilla as he hit a rubber toy in the press conferences, Ali milked any opportunity to make fun of his arch rival. The confident champion immortalized the bout in as the 'Thrilla in Manila', held 1st October, 1975.
In the searing Manila heat the two aging veterans waged a war that ran off Frazier's concentrated hate. After typically falling behind in the opening sessions, Joe made his mark in the 6th with tremendous hooks all over Ali's bloated body and started taking over until his left eye began to badly swell in between the furious exchanges nearing the 12th. With neither fighters stamina what it once was they began flailing all over the place in the 13th and 14th, but in the latter round, Frazier took an unnecessary amount of punches so Eddie Futch took it upon himself to rescue his drained battler before Dundee did to his -- it looked as if they were prepared to die in the ring.
The 'Thrilla' is still praised to this day and remains in the top three for the highest amount of punches thrown in a heavyweight fight. It was the exclamation mark on two strikingly different n' distinct careers, and the end of another 'golden age' in the heavyweight division.
With no way back, a severely bloated, 224lbs Frazier decided to shave his head and rematch Foreman in 1976 who was still trying to come to terms with his loss against Ali. Joe fought an interestingly conservative fight on his behalf, but he could not hurt the more paced version of Foreman who caught him good in the fifth, flooring him twice. Futch came to his fighter's rescue again, smartly pulling him out.
After 5 years passed there was just one more fight, that needed reminder to all great fighters that their time is well n' truly up. Frazier had taken many punches to the noggin, but that did not cloud his judgement when he scraped a draw vs. heavyweight Journeyman Jumbo Cummings. This was more of an experiment than last hurrah, but Frazier officially retired for good at this point.
So, what of 'Smokin Joe Frazier's legacy? He lost 4 times, twice to the same fighter who, along with Joe, were the best of their era -- there is no shame like there was when Foreman lost to Young, Tyson lost to Douglas, or Lewis lost to Rahman. Secondly he was never truly conquered for his defeats came when he was not the same fighter, and while Foreman very well may of destroyed him any day of the week you must consider his obvious decline in mental and physical well being after the first Ali fight.
More amazingly, rooted deep within his personal problems was the fact he competed at the highest level with impaired vision. His left eye caused for a heavy shipment of right hands throughout his career and his right eye began faltering also, but at his awesome peak it didn't matter. His victory over Ali must stand as a monumental achievement. It was the biggest fight in their boxing lives and Frazier came out on top without question. He controlled the flow of battle and twice had Ali ready for the cleaners. The sheer belligerence on display that night may have been enough to see off any Heavyweight titan past or present.
Frazier the fighter was simple, but terribly effective -- The 'black Marciano' aptly fit as one of Joe's first name tags. He was the most pressing of all the swarmers -- Dempsey fought in controlled spurts like Tyson did, and Marciano was often more cautious before he let his fists fly -- Frazier went to work, punched on you and did not stop forcing the fight on his terms, which became harshly demanding on the opponent as the intensity he applied increased. He was a breath taking body puncher in every sense of the word, and his powerful right hand was overshadowed by a left hook that was surely the best since the day's of the Manassa Mauler. If Henry Armstrong was a Heavyweight he'd be Joe Frazier.
An iron will, granite chin, crunching power and a frightening threshold for pain was what Frazier brought to the table each time the vertically challenged fighter came to dance -- he was one of the hardest men to fight, and near impossible to beat at his own game.
Joe's memorable performances that exemplified the meaning of the word excitement and his amiable persona have left their imprint, but it would be fitting that his arch rival has historically overwritten Frazier's importance an worth. Rather than conclude this story I ask of you this…if it wasn't for Joe Frazier, how would we rate Muhammad Ali.

Airline competition is fierce within the United States, and if your flights involve major hub cities within the United States -- say, Miami and your home city -- you may be able to beat the cruise line's price, especially if you book far enough in advance.9.) Look for Two-for-One or Back-to-Back Deals
Many cruise lines and agents offer discounts if you book more than one cruise at the same time. The discounts may be significant -- ask your agent or the cruise line if the price you want would be reduced if you booked another cruise for later in the same year. However, if you see an ad for a special two-for-one deal, read the fine print -- you don't want to find out after the fact that you're making up the difference in price by paying top dollar for flights or special accommodations.10.) Don't Forget Family and Senior Discounts
Many deals are family-oriented, with special "kids cruise for free" bargains or special discounts on multiple rooms. As you consider these options with your travel agent, make sure you ask for the fine print. One family-oriented cruise line advertises a special bargain with free cruises for kids under 11, but the kids have to be accompanied by two adults who also pay full airfare through the cruise line's service, with all guests staying in the same cabin.
If you're 55 or over, ask your agent about discounts for senior citizens. Not all cruises offer senior discounts; rather, you'll find your best deals by taking advantage of special senior citizen promotions, advertised specifically to travel agents. If you can be flexible with your travel dates, ask your agent to notify you when these special deals are offered.11.) Ask About Group Rates
If the purpose of your cruise is to celebrate something special -- a wedding, for example, or a family reunion -- ask your agent if any special group rates are available. If you're booking a cruise for a large group of guests, a multiple-person discount may apply.
Some cruise lines offer theme-oriented packages (which may include photographers and caterers, or conference suites) that are well worth booking in advance. These can be pricey, but you might appreciate the convenience of having everything arranged on board.12.) Get a Guarantee
Many cruise lines offer price guarantees wherein the cruise line guarantees you the lowest price at the time of booking for a cabin in the category you booked, or possibly even a higher category. But the cruise line will pick your cabin, not you.
You pay a minimum rate and get nothing less than the lowest-priced cabin in the category you booked. So while you lose control over which cabin you get, the upside is you might also get an upgrade -- and still pay the minimum rate. The important thing to remember when booking your cabin on a guarantee is that you will have no say about which cabin you are assigned.

I have a 3000 sq ft home that when we flush a toilet on one side of the house, or run the washing machine ,there is a major pressure loss everywhere else. I checked the water pressure on one of the garden hose faucets and it is around 60 psi . I assume that there is a volume problem. The house is around 20 years old and in Gold River , ca. Alot of my neighbors had line breaks and had to take the plumbing overhead because the builder buit this addition (2500 homes) on a bed of cobble.
It has gotten worse since they change water service and installed new water meters.
There are no asbuil;ts for this community. It is an unincorporated area of Sacramento County , which obviously the builder got away with anything. I went to the county who told me only the architect would have the plans . I went to the Architect and he said it was too long ago and he dosen't have plans and that the buider changed his mind so much during construction that lord knows what is under my house.
Certainly would of like to have known this fact before I bought but now I am stuck.
Can anyone tell me how to proceed in checking out why there is such pressure loss just by flushing one toilet.

Employee of the Year in the Velké Popovice Brewery Prefers Eating Willow Tree Leaves
31 December 2012
Velké Popovice, 31 December 2012 – With the end of the year approaching, the brewery in Velké Popovice has announced the recipient of the Employee of the Year award – a veteran worker, Olda the goat. Olda has worked in the Visitors' Centre division since 2004. He is the only employee who can pride himself on 100% work attendance during the entire year, including weekends. A jury of experts with Karel Kraus, the marketing manager of Pilsner Urquel at its head, conferred the award unanimously.
Olda the goat has worked over eight years in the central Bohemian village Velké Popovice. In 2012, he has finally received the award he deserves for his hard work, especially for his goodwill and devotion to the Velkopopovický Kozel brand. "I started to notice that the award was in the making already in the summer when they built for me a new office with a paddock and a fully equipped cottage," says Olda proudly. He is the only employee with year-round working hours, including weekends and bank holidays. It is on these days in particular that Olda shoulders the burden of representing the brewery well.
The brewery star has his personal assistant who takes care of his physical and mental needs. The keeper makes sure that Olda's meals are well-balanced, in order to keep his hair nice and shiny. He is also in charge of the implementation of Section 9 of the employment contract that stipulates "the he-goat has the right to a female companion once a year." Olda's last partner was a goat lady from the distant village of Otice by Miličín. The brewery has a strong interest in Olda's positive disposition as he is in daily contact with visitors of the brewery Visitors' Centre. The goat's residence is the second stop of the official brewery tour, right after the beer degustation. "We often have Olda's enthusiastic fans wanting to take a picture with him. Because this means a lot of media stress and public attention, he has to look good and be well-disposed at all times as much as celebrities do," shares with us Eva Kršňáková, the Visitors' Centre manager.
Olda the goat became the very first Employee of the Year award-holder amongst those employed in the same line of work. He has been "officially" on the payroll of the department of Tourism and Heritage, section 110360 in Velké Popovice.

Red bumps on my butt keep rearing their ugly heads

Dear Alice,
For the last several years, I've had problems with red bumps (some cyst-like) on my bum. As you can imagine, it has made changing/showering at the gym, wearing higher cut swimsuits, massages, sex, etc., humiliating!
I have tried everything: Desitin, various powders, anti-perspirants (as I think sweat is the main cause), lotion, rubbing alcohol, Neutrogena body wash, Clearasil, and Retin A (which my doctor prescribed), to name just a few. In addition, I shower twice a day and always wear cotton panties. I've slept sans underwear, worn loose clothing, you name it — all in the name of getting "some air."
I've seen my regular doctor and a dermatologist about the problem and it still persists! What can I do?
Desperately embarr-ASS-ed
Dear Desperately embarr-ASS-ed,
Thanks for the pun, and sorry you're feeling so frustrated.
While it's impossible to make a diagnosis via the internet, your description sounds like it may be either folliculitis or boils. Both of these are tiny little pockets of infection, sort of similar to pimples. The difference between them is that folliculitis forms around the place where a hair sprouts (the hair follicle), while a boil is freestanding. A cluster of boils is sometimes referred to as a "carbuncle." Bumps from boils or folliculitis can be filled with fluid or pus, or they can appear as red bumps that crop up around hair. These infections are usually caused by bacteria (possibly including staph), although other microorganisms, such as yeast, are sometimes responsible.
When you notice these bumps, try placing a hot compress on them for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, three or four times a day, or sit in a nice hot bath. This can help them come to a head and drain, although it may take about a week for them to do so. Once the area is draining, put an antibiotic ointment over it and bandage the spot; reapply the ointment and re-bandage it three or four times each day until it appears totally healed.
It's terribly tempting, but don't squeeze them! You could drive the infection deeper, resulting in an even greater infection.
In addition to the hot compress suggestions, it is important to keep the area clean by washing with mild soap. Dry the spot thoroughly (you might even consider using a blow dryer after washing). If you don't have sensitive skin, you can consider dabbing cysts with alcohol or an antiseptic solution, such as Betadine, to try to prevent the infection from spreading. However, if your skin is sensitive, you may want to avoid any harsh ointments or solutions like alcohol, or even soaps with perfumes or dyes — strong soaps and certain chemicals in cleansers can make sensitive skin irritated and more prone to infection, rather than less. Have you tried cutting back to one shower per day and using only mild soap? Check out the skin care tips from Mayo Clinic for more information about caring for your skin.
If these measures don't improve your bumps, if you are getting more and more, if the "cysts" are located between your buttocks, if they are increasingly red and painful, or if you develop a fever or other symptoms, you may need to see your health care provider to have the bumps drained and to be placed on oral antibiotics.
Unfortunately, some people are prone to these kinds of "eruptions," and you may find them rearing their ugly heads on an occasional basis. Whenever they crop up, revert back to your treatment plan to find peace. Remember that you are not alone in this experience and with some trial and error you can find the solution that works best for you!

I have had the same "ass"inine problem for a while now. I tried everything. The only thing that I found was rubbing my rear with a wash rag with vinegar on it once a day after showering. I virtually have no problems now. But if I go 2 or more days without... it starts again, and takes a couple more days to heal. It's the only thing that has worked for me. It works. Thanks. Hope that this helps. Good luck.

Literary Style: 15 Writers' Bedrooms
Whatever it may be, often what it is most is a space that reminds us that, genius aside, writers are people... just like you and I.
Top row, left to right:
1. Truman Capote: The author's bedroom at his Hamptons beach house is simple, but elegant.
2. Virginia Woolf : Full of details — the bookshelves house the author's artful collection of books, many of which she recovered with colored paper.
3. Ernest Hemingway: Light floods the Nobel Prize-winning author's bedroom at his Key West home.
4. Flannery O'Connor: The author did most of her writing at the desk in her bedroom. The aluminum crutches were used to help her get around her parents' dairy farm.
5. Alexander Masters: This author's bedroom reflects his process — he just wakes up and starts writing. The crocodile above his bed is a talisman and was featured on the cover of his book, Stuart: A Life Backwards.
Second row, left to right:
6. William S. Burroughs: Patti Smith, a friend of the Beat writer, sits on the bed in his room at The Bunker on the Bowery.
7. Sylvia Plath: The Pulitzer Prize-winning author stayed for several months at the Barbizon Hotel for Women. This image is taken from an advertisement for the hotel and suggests what Plath's room may have looked like at that time.
8. Henry David Thoreau: Intent on simple living, Thoreau furnished his 10'x15' home with only the necessary basics - a bed, a table, a desk, and three chairs.
9. Victor Hugo : Dark, rich and red - Hugo's bedroom at his home on the Place de Vosges in Paris is all that you would expect from a writer heavily influenced by the Romanticism movement.
10. Emily Dickinson: Most of the poet's writing was done at a small writing table in her bedroom.
Bottom row, left to right:
11. Miranda Seymour: Another author that prefers writing at a small desk in her bedroom, this writer has slept in the same room, on and off, since she was 14 years old.
12. Mary Roach: One might expect something a bit more macabre from the author of Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, but the bedroom in the writer's craftsman home in Oakland, California is simple and serene.
13. Marcel Proust: A victim of asthma and severe allergies, Proust's bedroom was a masterwork in shelter and seclusion. All apertures were shielded or sealed, and the walls and ceiling were covered in cork to protect the author from the dust and noise of the outside world.
14. Michael Morpurgo: Technically a writing room — the author of War Horse designed this room around the bed, where he does all of his writing — in longhand.
15. William Faulkner: More of an office with a bed — the Nobel prize-winning author outlined the plot of The Fable on the walls of the room and then shellacked his notes to preserve them.

Oh I love Virginia Woolf's room! Such awesome rooms, but if I had a wish it would be to see the bedrooms of Neil Gaiman, Tennessee Williams and Edith Wharton.
I'm fortunate enough to have visited Hemingway's home. His garden is so beautiful, and the way the house is set up if you open the huge doors in the main hallway the air flows through so nicely. Of course, the whole island is beautiful. ;)
I could totally see myself in Hemingway's bed.
I aspire to something like Thoreau's or Dickinson's. Hemingway's seems utterly out of character!
I feel like I've seen this post somewhere before.
Artful means SNEAKY, people. It's NOT a GOOD THING!
@M'ELIZABETH artful has two meanings, so while you are right, you're also wrong.
Also, Flannery O'Connor's room looks exactly how one might imagine it would, it definitely seems the most fitting to me (though Thoreau and Burroughs are pretty fitting, too. I had a friend who used to carpool to the methadone clinic with Burroughs and from what I've heard of him, that is about what I'd imagine, as well).
What a fascinating psychological peek into the creative mind. I mean, what's more personal an intimate than our bedrooms. Thanks for the great article.
Is that mirror above Tru's bed secured to the wall?
Maybe it's just my taste, but it kinda bums me out to see that most of these writers slept in dinky little twin beds (and even the exceptions look to be full/doubles). They all look rather modest at best, receding and sort of melancholy.
no wonder Plath killed herself.
Virginia Woolf : Full of details — the bookshelves house the author's artful collection of books, many of which she recovered with colored paper.
OH MY GOD. How could she do that to an innocent book. She obviously must hate the written word.
Victor Hugo ftw.
Wow, more single beds than I'd have expected...but fun to see.
So, to be a writer, you *have* to have a desk in your room. Recipe for insomnia, methinks.
"...just like you and I."
Owww. That hurt my ears. (I know it was inadvertent, but still.) Please correct to: "...just like you and me." TIA! xoxo
I love this post! So well researched and fabulous photos. Pinning with abandon.
Interesting idea for an article, and it was fun to have a chance to look at the room before reading the name of its occupant. I think I could have identified Flannery O'Connor's room as hers even without the crutches, it look so much like my idea of her. But Proust's made me twitch with claustrophobia....
Yay! Thanks, Anna! :)
writers have the best rooms =)
Neat! :) So many of these were just as I'd expected. The picture of Faulkner's bedroom isn't actually his bedroom, though. He bought Rowan Oak in 1930 & began writing The Fable, outlines of which are pasted on the wall in the photo, in 1943. Here's a picture of his actual bedroom: http://nhvzr.smugmug.com/Travel/DEEP-SOUTH/Faulkners-room/935997938_MtJb4-L.jpg.
Fascinating! Thanks for doing the research. Enjoyed a lot of the comments, too. And @tzigan, thank you.
Ernest Hemingway had some serious design skills.
"I had a friend who used to carpool to the methadone clinic with Burroughs." I love that line.
Am I the only one who finds the thought of spending so much time in my bedroom claustrophobic?
I believe the writer meant, "writers are people... just like you and me.," rather then "you and I." Pet peeve. Writers are just like you and writers are just like me. Otherwise, nice spread.

Defensive Back Lanier Commits To Vols

Defensive back Izauea Lanier has committed to Tennessee.
Lanier, who attends East Mississippi Community College in Scooba, Miss., had also been considering Ole Miss. UT defensive backs coach Terry Joseph was influential in helping Lanier choosing the Vols.
"Cach Joseph has been great," Lanier told Volquest.com. "He has stuck with me through everything. When I didn't get things done to get out in December, coach Joseph never backed off. He kept telling me how much he wanted me and needed me."
Lanier is UT's 21st commitment for the class of 2011. Six of those players have enrolled for the spring semester. It will be interesting to see if Lanier's commitment affects the decision of junior college defensive back Byron Moore, who's expected to choose between UT and Miami.
Lanier originally signed with Auburn in 2009 but failed to qualify. He was considered the nation's 54th best athlete that year by Rivals.com.
